Niche availability and competitive loss by facilitation control proliferation of bacterial strains intended for soil microbiome interventions.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microbiome engineering - the targeted manipulation of microbial communities - is considered a promising strategy to restore ecosystems, but experimental support and mechanistic understanding are required. Here, we show that bacterial inoculants for soil microbiome engineering may fail to establish because they inadvertently facilitate growth of native resident microbiomes. By generating soil microcosms in presence or absence of standardized soil resident communities, we show how different nutrient availabilities limit outgrowth of focal bacterial inoculants (three Pseudomonads), and how this might be improved by adding an artificial, inoculant-selective nutrient niche. Through random paired interaction assays in agarose micro-beads, we demonstrate that, in addition to direct competition, inoculants lose competitiveness by facilitating growth of resident soil bacteria. Metatranscriptomics experiments with toluene as selective nutrient niche for the inoculant Pseudomonas veronii indicate that this facilitation is due to loss and uptake of excreted metabolites by resident taxa. Generation of selective nutrient niches for inoculants may help to favor their proliferation for the duration of their intended action while limiting their competitive loss.
